Report
We went lo the Lavezzi island. Amiability and dedication of crew low. No safety briefing at all. The journey to the island was 30min with the Corsaire II. All pax at the rear of the boat were inhaling exhaust gases. Comments about highlights on the way back cant be heard from the rear of the boat (no loudspeakers).

I am greedy so I bought the tour to save on parking. I went without high expectations, but at the end it was a great experience. Worth even for budget travellers :D

They should warn you if there is too much wind. Our boat was shaking all the time. Some of the guys were shortly before throwing up... In addition they put us on a boat we didnt payed for and did the wrong tour.
